Building on the 2025 Radical Imagination Fellowship, launched with support from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, this project deepens Children’s Defense Fund–California (CDF-CA) work by equipping foster and systems-impacted youth with tools to lead education equity and youth justice advocacy in Los Angeles County.
